Variable Speed Drives on Flue Gas Control, Pumps and Fans

In any plant, there is a need to adjust the load on cooling, pumping systems to the fluctuating demand conditions. Variable speed drives (VSDs) enable better and faster matching of fan/pump output to the demand conditions. In addition, VSDs allow for significant energy savings as the energy consumption decreases with reduced flow rate. VSDs also help improve overall productivity, process control and product quality. VSD systems are offered by many suppliers and are available worldwide.

It should be noted that in certain operational contexts other load adjustment measures - such as use of pony pumps - may offer a more efficient solution.
